How Compound reads it
- Your best set counts. The app estimates a one-rep max from any set: the weight times one plus the reps over thirty, with reps capped at 12. 125 lb for 5 reps estimates 145.8 lb, which clears Gold I at 143 lb on the men's ladder.
- The ladders are read at a reference bodyweight, 180 lb for men and 140 lb for women, and anchored to strength data for people who lift. Iron I is where the map places everyone to start; Iron II is the first gate.
- A rank, once earned, is kept. The map's level can step back when a weight is missed; the rank you reached does not.
- The app uses your profile's ladder. Pick the men's or the women's ladder above to read the one that applies to you.
